Which black color for wheels

[56servi]

I was at a swap meet today & talked with powder coaters about doing my wheels in black. The 1st question they asked is "Which Black" They have gloss, semi-gloss, dull, and flat.
I am thinking semi gloss because the gloss looks too "Wet"
I am going to have whitewall tires

Any suggestions

I AGREE, why even paint ANYTHING, if it's NOT gonna' SHINE??
One guy's car was TOO shiny for some car show, so he bought some cheep wax to "dull" it down????? And you think I'm "NUTS"???? Bill W.

I did mine shiney black. Looks about the same as the fenders.

I had my Huskster done in gloss black also. I think they look great with W/W's.

Depends on the wheel condition. Pitted calls for a less gloss while pefect wheels are usually high gloss, IMO.

Gloss black for sure!

The factory dipped the wheels in the same black enamel as the fenders and splash-aprons... so, I would vote "glossy", or "to match the fenders".

If your car does not have a briliant gloss to it, you might want to try semi-gloss...

Gloss but make sure you tell them you want UV resistant or they will eventually dull. Most powder coaters don't use it because most of their customers are industrial and those parts are not exposed to the sun.
